A college graduate believes he has 60% chance of getting a particular job. Historically, 75% of the candidates who got a similar job had two interviews; 45% of unsuccessful candidates had two interviews. Apply Bayes’ Rule to calculate the probability that this candidate will be hired, assuming he had two interviews
